Assuming the house is parallel to the ground, your triangle is made up by the house, the ground, and the ladder. Using sin(x) = opposite/hypotenuse on the angle 70 degrees, you would have sin(70) = 20/x (because 20 is the side opposite of the angle connecting the ladder and the ground)
--> simplify sin(70) * x = 20 --> x = 20 / sin(70 
--> substitute (and make sure your calculator in in degrees) x= 21. 284

Answer:

0.225 \Omega =225 m\Omega

Step-by-step explanation:

We know (Ohm second law) that R= \frac{k}{d^2} where k inlcudes the rest of the parameters (material, lenght). In our situation we have k= 0.4\cdot9 \Omega mm^2. The moment the diameter becomes 8mm R becomes

R= {{0.4\cdot 9}\over{16}} \Omega = 0.225 \Omega
